Teaching the teachers, Sou Olbrich instructs pastors from around Cambodia

One of the first casualties of a tight budget is training. Our lead pastors had not been together for several months, and Sou could sense, in the Spirit, that we needed to do something to re-build the unity and passion of our key leadership team. Despite the cost, we brought together 123 of our divisional and district leaders. Since Sam Tolle is busy with teams, and Errol Faulkes is still recovering from the stoke he suffered, that left Sou and I to do the work.

We spent 3 and 1/2 days on “motivation for ministry”, “the role of money”, and “the power of the Spirit”. We hit a nerve! The Holy Spirit took over, and there were confessions and tears of repentance all around. There really is no substitute for a face to face encounter. I don’t believe the “virtual age” can ever replace that.
